Is UA racist?

Actually, compare the percentage of Black students at UA with any of the top schools, and you will find that UA is indeed, more diverse! This constant stereotyping of the South is really getting tiresome, and needs to end. It is unfair. Yes, there is a history, but it is 2010. There are more opportunities, including affirmative action, in Alabama, than in supposedly more progressive states like California. I have lived in both Los Angeles, and several cities in the South, and the daily interaction between Blacks and Whites is greater in the South than in LA.
